The Inca Trail / Machu Picchu Wilderness and Travel Medicine CME Conference is a true classic that should be on every adventurer's "to-do" list. It is difficult to describe the magnificence of Machu Picchu, a stone fortress city nestled below stunning peaks. It is perhaps the greatest mystery of the Inca Empire. The four-day trek on the Inca Trail to reach this pre-Columbian site is a pilgrimage through time. Beautiful Andean scenery, as well as cultural history, unfolds as we hike up and down steep stone staircases past ancient Inca outposts. Our guides and porters will carry all of your gear and prepare delicious meals on the trail.

After the Inca Trail, we'll fly to the fabulous Reserva Amazonica Lodge on the Amazon River. Our naturalist guides will take us on interpretive journeys to this incredibly diverse and beautiful ecosystem.

This Wilderness and Travel Medicine CME Conferences combine hiking the Inca trail with a few days in Cusco, a visit to the Sacred Valley, and a trip into the heart of the Amazon jungle! You will get a true sense of the magic of Peru!

The Wilderness Medicine Continuing Medical Education seminars will typically take place in the afternoons between 5 and 7pm, before dinner is served.


Our friendly Inca trail guides carry all of your gear and cook gourmet meals on the trail!
